Some good pickings there, also a beckoning "SELECT ALL" checkbox... Nice try GOG!

The classic Driver 2 has a new reverse engineered open source game engine
16 Nov 2020 at 4:13 pm UTC

I've always assumed there to be quite a different challenge, possibly a different mindset, between a reverse engineering project and creating your own game from scratch.

I kinda get it. It's somewhere between deciphering ancient hieroglyphs and restoring an old barn find. Plus the opportunity to study an old favorite from a whole new perspective, learning new things about the game, and possibly the minds who created it.

Anyhow, that's a pretty slick trailer! Makes me want to get out there, steal Eleanor and try some Halicki stunts!

Go sight seeing in the American Truck Simulator - Colorado expansion out now

Quoting: CFWhitmanWhat I would enjoy with the Truck Simulator series is a 'free drive' mode where you could just drive the roads without worrying about the business simulation. Does this exist? I haven't investigated thoroughly as to whether or not this is possible in these games. It could be interesting for those who just want to virtually explore different parts of the country/world that these games cover.
There's a free roam mode, when you own your own truck. Just drive around and watch the world go by.

I guess you could use cheats to even skip the whole paying off the truck part, or use mods to drive a car instead of a truck.

Steam has a big fighting game sale going on right now

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is also on sale, sort off. Only the "Supporter Bundle [External Link]" is discounted so no savings if the actual game is all you're interested in.

The game simulates shipwrecks quite well too. I managed to beach my schooner during a storm. Years later the island have completely buried the HMS Whizse.

GOG has revived The Dark Heart of Uukrul from 1989

And if you don't like fiddling with Wine and so on, you can either download the data files using something like lgogdownloader, or grab the .exe and extract it with innoextracter, much like a .zip archive.

(..and the game is also almost certainly already available as package in your distro!)

I have completely missed these games. You call yourself an adventure gamer whizse, shame on you! Thankfully there's a demo available for the first one.
